Since 2017, we have been working on trying to improve safety across the Canal Bridge and the surrounding areas. With the news that funding for the Conker Crossing was not available due to the scale of the investment required and changes to funding criteria, BANES commissioned a safety paper on alternate options for the Canal Bridge and narrowing by Mulberry Kidz. The Parish Council has received and reviewed the findings of the paper and will undertake a public consultation to share the information and seek public feedback on the options provided.
